Executive Summary Introduction

Trend Setters is a full-service beauty salon dedicated to consistently providing high customer satisfaction by rendering excellent service, quality products, and furnishing an enjoyable atmosphere at an acceptable price/value relationship. We will also maintain a friendly, fair, and creative work environment, which respects diversity, ideas, and hard work.

Our Mission: To supply services and products that enhance our clients' physical appearance and mental relaxation.

Our Motto: "The Trend Begins Here!"

The timing is right for starting this new venture. Patiently searching for six months for the perfect location, one was finally found. The demand from the owner's clients, as well as the ambitions of the owner to one day start her own salon, and the procurement of highly professional and qualified beauticians to support the salon, has made this business one of great potential.

Curley Comb, co-owner with Roller Comb, Jr., her husband, has worked in a prestigious, upscale salon in MyTown, Texas for the past two years. Curley has created a large client following through hard work and dedication. Curley, and her talented team of beauticians, has what it takes to make this venture an extremely successful one. We expect our growing reputation to lead to new clients and beauticians to support our anticipated growth.

To achieve our objectives, Trend Setters is seeking additional loan financing. This loan will be paid from the cash flow from the business, and will be collateralized by the assets of the company, and backed by the character, experience, and personal guarantees of the owners.

Hair • Cuts • Relaxers • Perms • Colors • • Conditioning • Curling • Reconstructing • Weaving • waving.

Nails • • Polish • Sculptured nails

Skin Care • European • Body • Massage Strategy and Implementation Summary

Skill at what we do, good customer service, and creating a pleasant environment for our customers will be important to implementing our business plan. Competitive Edge

Trend Setters wants to set itself apart from other beauty salons that may offer only one or two types of services. Having come from such a salon, Curley has realized, from talking with her clients, that they desire all of the services that we are proposing, but they remain frustrated because they must get their hair done at one place, and nails done at another. Although the focus

CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DISSEMINATE. This business plan contains confidential, trade-secret information and is shared only with the understanding that you will not share its contents or ideas with third parties without the express written consent of the plan author. Trend Setters Hair Studio

of Trend Setters is hair services, we do wish to offer our clients the convenience of these other services in one location.

There are a number of salons like ours, but they are mainly in the very high income parts of MyTown and surrounding areas. We do not intend to compete with these so called "Day ." We wish to offer a middle ground for those clients who can't quite afford those high-end luxury salons.

Our business atmosphere will be a relaxing one where clients can kick back and be pampered. Soft drinks will be offered to clients as they enter for service. Televisions will be located in the waiting and hair-drying area. Marketing Strategy

Our marketing strategy is a simple one: satisfied clients are our best marketing tool. When a client leaves our business with a new look, he or she is broadcasting our name and quality to the public. Most of our clients will be referrals from existing clients.

No major advertising campaigns are anticipated. Our research has shown that word of mouth is the best advertising for this type of business. We will, however, run specials throughout the week. We will also ask clients for referrals, and reward them with discounted or free services depending on the number of clients they bring. We will also offer discounts to the new clients who have been referred. There are plans for a lottery that will offer a free trip to, say, Cancun. A client would simply refer new clients to us, and we will place a card in a box for each client he or she brings. The more they bring, the more chances they have of winning the trip. Sales Forecast

We anticipate the highest peak on the months of November and December in our sales forecast, due to the holiday seasons. In November, there is Ramadan, and for non-muslim Malaysians and Indonesians, it means vacation time. Approximately 1.5 million Indonesians visit Singapore each year, mostly for shopping and dining. Then in December, we anticipate more tourists coming into Singapore; this explains the jumped of sales in these last two months of the year.

Management Summary

Trend Setters will be organized and managed in a creative and innovative fashion to generate very high levels of customer satisfaction, and to create a working climate conducive to a high degree of personal development and economic satisfaction for employees.

Training classes to help improve employee product knowledge and skills will be conducted on a regular basis. As the business grows, the company will consider offering an employee benefit package to include health and vacation benefits for everyone. Personnel Plan

The personnel plan calls for a receptionist who will greet customers and receive payments for services and products. There will be five hair stylists, one barber, one nail technician, one facialist, and a massage therapist. Everyone but the receptionist will be contract workers, and will be paid a sliding commission scale based on the amount of revenue created. Future plans include the hiring of a shampoo technician as the business expands.

In the first year, assumptions are that there will only be three hair stylists, a barber, and part time nail, , and massage technician until the business can build a reputation that will attract others to work there.

Financial Plan

Our goal is to be a profitable business beginning in the first month. The business will not have to wait long for clients to learn about it since the stylists will already have an existing client base.

To assure the start-up funds lender that the owners are financially stable, a personal financial statement is enclosed illustrating other sources of income that include interest and dividend income from investments ($2,840), salary income ($29,658), and commission income ($15,000). Important Assumptions

The financials that are enclosed have a number of assumptions:

Revenues will grow at an annual rate of 15%, increasing 20% in November and December due to a historical jump in revenues at this time of year. We anticipate this increase to stay steady throughout the following year to account for the normal flow of new clients coming into the salon. Estimates for sales revenue and growth are intentionally low, while anticipated expenses are exaggerated to the high side to illustrate a worst case scenario.

We did not use cost of goods sold in our calculations of net service sales, but included all related recurring expenses, such as payroll and supplies, in the operating expenses area of the profit and loss table. The only direct costs in the sales forecast are for projected product sales.

Product sales are a minimal part of our market. We are not quite sure how much revenue will be derived from products, so we took a low-ball approach and estimated sales of $800 a month. Also in the sales projections table are services such as nails and massages. We are not quite sure how much revenue these two services will generate. We are certain that in time these services will be a large part of our revenue, but to err on the conservative side, we estimate revenues from these services to be only $1,500 a month for the first year.

Break-even Analysis

The break-even analysis shows that Trend Setters has a good balance of fixed costs and sufficient sales strength to remain healthy. This calculation is focused on service sales, and excludes costs related to product sales. Our conservative forecast shows the salon just passing the break-even point throughout most of the first year, but we expect actual sales to be higher.
